PBIS Resources to Support Students During the Pandemic
During these uncertain times, the Center on Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies (PBIS) shares resources available to help guide the work you do around student behavior.
The Kennedy Center
Lesson plans sorted by grade levels, subjects, and duration. As an Alaskan teacher, this site is one of my favorites for learning any content paired with critical/creative thinking skills.
AP US History and AP Gov
Jocz Productions, created and supported by Daniel Jocz, 2016 CA Teacher of the Year. Find all of the APUSH review resources in addition to APGOV materials. This website is used by many students from across the US to successfully pass the APUSH and APGOV tests. I love how creatively Mr. Jocz presents each unit embedding music and graphics to aid memory and learning.

There are year-long and semester-long courses available, in addition to professional learning or individual lessons to explore.
